Chapter Seventy-Four: The Rising Sun
At the darkest time before dawn, the corpses of Xingyang Zhidong had been killed all over the field, and it had been more than four hours since Xu Rong's army surrounded Cao Cao, Bao Xin, and Wei Zi's soldiers and horses.
Flames can be seen rising everywhere on the battlefield, Dong Zhonglang embodied Xu Rong's ruthless style in this battle vividly, he directly let the soldiers smash the ice surface of Bianshui, cut off the back road of Cao Cao and others, and then commanded with the sound of drums, with foot and cavalry, galloping vertically and horizontally, cutting Cao, Bao, and Wei's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses into pieces for their own battles.
Cao Cao slashed to death a rushing Qianghu soldier with a sword, gasping for breath, weakly holding the long sword, Xu Rong's Qianghu soldiers are extremely strong and Suzhì, which is by no means comparable to these recruits he recruited, Cao Cao has already fought softly, in the chaotic battle, he saw Wei Zi being shot with his own eyes, and more than a thousand soldiers under Wei Zi were almost lost.
In the dark night chaos, Bao Xin was nowhere to be found, in the drums, Cao Cao could only faintly hear the roars of Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan, it seems that they are still fighting with soldiers in one place, only Cao Hong and his personal guards are closely protecting him.
Now, their tens of thousands of recruits are less than two thousand, and they are only making the final struggle, but under their desperate efforts, Xu Rong's losses are not small, but Xu Rong seems to care about everything, and in the final darkness, the drums of another attack sounded.
……
Under the city of Chenggao, when the soldiers guarding Cheng were most tired and lax, Ji Ping's army secretly approached the city gate under the cover of night.
When he was approaching thirty paces, suddenly a torch flashed on the castle tower, and a guard shouted: "Enemy attack! - Ahh ”
A crossbow arrow went through his throat, and the guard slowly fell, but then the guards all over the city sprang into action.
At the same time, Ji Ping's Chinese army was beating big drums on all sides.
"Kill!" Duan Jin and Gai Shun gave orders at the same time, and the soldiers under them rushed up like flowing water.
Soon, a rain of arrows was shot from the battlements on the tower, and it became denser and denser.
There is a drawbridge in front of the gate of Chenggao City, Duan Jin and Gai Shun avoid the city tower, each side of the city wall, first the arrow board and the arrow car to resist the arrow rain, and then the two more than 800 archers and archers shoot back, the arrow rain is more ferocious to the city tower, the city wall and the city cover the past.
Screams were immediately heard from inside the city walls, and the rain of arrows on the city suddenly weakened.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, dozens of soldiers rushed up with eight ladders, crossed a deep ditch more than a foot wide in front of the city, and hooked it to the city wall.
Immediately after, the rain of arrows from crossbowmen and archers buzzed into the city again.
Under their cover, dozens of flying shadows bit their swords and climbed the ladder to the city.
There was a loud roar from the castle tower: "Rolling stones! Mullet! Archer! ”
Immediately afterwards, dozens of stones rolled down from the city wall, smashing down towards the ladder and the climbing flying shadow, and there were sections of hundreds of pounds of wood, under the rope of the tie, smashed down, pulled up, and smashed down again.
At the same time, there was a rain of arrows falling.
Many of the climbing flying shadows were hit by arrows or stones and fell into the ladders, and three of the eight ladders were destroyed in an instant, and one was toppled down.
The archers on both sides came and went, and the battle was extremely tragic.
This time, the two men and horses of Gai Shun and Duan Jin brought by Ji Ping were all elite soldiers in Guanzhong, and they were extremely fierce, but the soldiers defending the city were not bad, and the three waves of attacks in a row were stubbornly blocked by the defenders in the city, and the losses were not small.
In the Chinese army, Ji Ping frowned, watching the medical team he ordered to form go back and forth, busily moving the wounded soldiers off the front line for emergency treatment.
At this time, the sky was already getting brighter, and he looked around, on both sides of Chenggao City, Shi A and Yin Muyue were already approaching the city with flying shadows.
Ji Ping's heart moved, and he ordered: "Let the soldiers shout in unison, Xingyang City is broken, Xu Rong is killed in battle, and the soldiers and horses of Kwantung will come to help!" ”
Soon the military order was issued to the army, and those axe and shield soldiers and pikemen who did not take up the siege task and defend the city shouted in unison: "Xingyang City is broken!" Xu Rong died in battle! The Kanto Terramen is coming! ”
The guards upstairs were in a panic when they boarded, looking to the east, the rain of arrows and rolling stones and trees covered were also paused, taking advantage of this moment, Shi A and Yin Muyue and other flying shadows hung the flying hook on the city walls on both sides, and climbed quickly, but two zhang high, and instantly arrived on the city wall.
Seeing that Shi A, Yin Muyue and the others had climbed the city tower safe and sound, Ji Ping breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "Feiying has entered the city, attack with all your might!" ”
He took the battalion of guards with him and began to charge.
Duan Jin and Gai Shun ordered at the same time, and they even risked the arrows and stones and charged forward.
Above the city tower, Shi A's long sword was vertical and horizontal, when all of them fell, the city defenders were terrified, Shi A took more than a hundred flying shadows to clean up the city wall and the city tower guards, and rushed below to open the city gate.
Yin Muyue on the other side is not bad, her skills are more agile, she slashed and killed more than ten guards, the flying hook hung on the city, grabbed the rope and swung suddenly, her body went down the city wall to the air, the short sword in her hand slashed through the air, and the two ropes hanging the drawbridge were broken, and the drawbridge was oblique.
Dodging the two feather arrows shot down from her head, Yin Muyue gritted her teeth, threw her short sword hard, and the other rope was also cut into a thread, and the drawbridge shook and fell with a bang.
"Mighty! Flying Shadow! Mighty! Flying Shadow! When the soldiers below saw this scene, their morale was greatly boosted and they accelerated the pace of siege.
At this moment, a guard on the city wall cut the rope on Yin Muyue's flying hook with a sword, and Yin Muyue's body suddenly fell towards the city.
The red rabbit horse flashed, and the charging Ji Ping crossed the suspension bridge, caught Yin Muyue, and rushed into the city gate hole, looking at her smiling and groaning, he couldn't help but be afraid for a while.
slapped her ass hard, put her on the horse despite her resistance, Ji Ping shouted: "Pan Feng, follow me to the door." ”
The Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand was more than sixty catties, and his strength was great, and he reversed the Fang Tian Painting Halberd and slammed it towards the city gate, and in the blink of an eye, Pan Feng also rushed over and used his mace to help Ji Ping smash the city gate.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Inside the city gate, the guards who were resisting Shi Ah saw the city gate banging, and they were about to be dumplings, and they couldn't help but be in chaos.
Fourth, fifth......
Rumble!
The gate of Chenggao fell suddenly, and at the same time, Duan Jin and Gai Shun also climbed the city tower, and attacked for an hour and a half, and the city of Chenggao was broken.
Ji Ping took the lead in entering the city with the battalion of personal guards, followed by axe and shield soldiers and pikemen.
"Form a formation and clean up the thieves in the city!" Ji Ping, Duan Jin, and Gai Shun ordered almost at the same time.
At this moment, on the road in Chenggao City, a general rushed over with more than a thousand cavalry.
Ji Ping, the first person, recognized that it was the general he repelled when he ambushed Dong Zhuo on the Xiaopingjin River, and he had some kung fu and could block him in several moves, so he immediately narrowed his eyes, Fang Tian painted a halberd in his hand, and the red rabbit horse slapped and rushed over, followed by the guard battalion.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the general saw Ji Ping wearing a mask, he screamed strangely, turned around and fled, and the cavalry behind him were stunned, and then the formation of the run was chaotic.
Seeing this scene, Ji Ping couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
The morale of the soldiers behind him was greatly boosted, Duan Jin and Gai Shun judged the situation, and they didn't want any formation, and shouted: "Kill!" ”
The soldiers frantically rushed towards the enemy horsemen.
Ji Ping didn't chase the general, a Fang Tian painted halberd to stab, slash, hook, and sharpen, killing more than a dozen cavalrymen in an instant, and then Geng Zhong and the personal guard battalion were greeted by a wave of crossbow arrows.
The more than 1,000 cavalry were in chaos, and the horsemen behind them returned to their horses one after another, and fled to the east gate with the main general.
"Gai Shun led his troops to clean up Chenggao City! Duan Jin pursues with me! ”
Ji Ping didn't care at all about the statement that he was poor and didn't chase after him, and led the guard camp to chase after the rout, and Yin Muyue and Shi A and other flying shadows also grabbed their horses and followed him.
rushed out of the east gate all the way, its momentum was inexhaustible, and it chased closely to the tiger prison.
The distance of one mile is in the blink of an eye, and the guards of the Tiger Prison Pass are paying attention to the battle of Xingyang in the east, and before they can react, they are rushed out of the Chenggao City, and then they are charged and killed by Ji Ping with the guard battalion, the ghost cries wolf, opens the door of the Tiger Prison, and continues to flee towards Xingyang City.
Known as the first pass in the east of Luoyang, the revolving gate pass is also a famous tiger prison pass, in the blink of an eye, it changes hands!
At this time, the red sun rose in the early morning, and the first rays of sunlight shone from the east.
Ji Ping rode a red rabbit horse, followed by Yin Muyue, standing on the high Tiger Prison Pass, looking at Xingyang City and the battlefield to the east of Xingyang.
Under the rising sun, the red rabbit horse neighed, the bronze mask reflected the light, and Ji Ping was like a god of war.
"Childe, Mu Yue really loves you." Yin Muyue beside him looked up at him, with a bright smile on her pretty face covered with dust.
